Semester Project The semester project will involve a comprehensive modification of Gould Hall for the College of Architecture. The intent, through additions and rehabilitation is to provide space for all five divisions in one building. Semester Schedule:

Phase One: Data Collection (20%) Students in Section 001 and 002 will be assembled into four teams for Phase One work as outlined below.

1. Program
This team will be responsible for development of a comprehensive program for the College of Architecture to be housed entirely in Gould Hall. Interviews must be conducted with the OU Vice President for Information Technology, Campus Architect, Dean Fillpot, Division Directors and other appropriate individuals. Program materials must be assembled into a coherent document, identifying all spaces-both existing and new-for copying and distribution to each student.

2. South Oval Site Model
This team will be responsible for construction of a site model (1"=30') of the South Oval to incorporate both existing and projected buildings (if information on the new Journalism Building and Parking garage is available). Boundaries to be determined.

3. Existing Building Documentation This team must prepare accurate CAD drawings of Gould Hall including a site plan, elevations and sections. A floor plan is available (students of Professor Richard Ryan will assist with surveying). In addition the team will be responsible for a site and context analysis.

4. Analysis of Precedents This team will select recent campus buildings by distinguished architects for analysis. Each student on this team must prepare a 20"x30" graphic illustration.

Phase One Review: Review of the phase One (Data Collection) on Friday 09/8/00 @ 1:30pm in the Gallery. Walking Tour OU Campus: There will be a walking tour of OU campus on Monday 09/11/00 @ 1:30pm.

Phase Two: Conceptual Design (30%) Each individual will prepare an architectural concept for of the project. The following are required for this phase:

1. Mass model of the of proposed building (1"=30') which to be examined against the site model.

2. Drawings to show site access, building access (vehicular, pedestrian, and service).

3. Vertical and horizontal access

4. Block drawings (combining together Gould Hall and the proposed building) representing floor plans, sections elevations.

5. New space planning for Gould Hall in order to meet the requirements of the comprehensive program. 6. Sketches to show a unified façade to integrate the exterior image of Gould Hall and the proposed building.

Phase Two Review: This phase will be reviewed in two different stages. " Preliminary: Monday 09/25/00 and Wednesday 09/27/00 @ 1:30pm in the Gallery with Betsy Dougherty, FAIA, Goff Chair. " Final: Monday 10/09/00 and Wednesday 10/11/00 @ 1:30pm in the Gallery with Betsy Dougherty, FAIA, Goff Chair.

Phase Three: Schematic Design (50%) The following are required for this review:

1. Model of the Building which include identifiable architectural elements at the site model scale (1"=30'). 2. Model of the proposed building and its relationship to the renovated Gould Hall (1/8"=1'-0").
3. For additional requirements, see "Schematic Design" in The Architect's handbook of Professional Practice (Student Edition), "Design Phases", Section 3.63, pp.631-651.

Phase Three Review: This phase will be reviewed in two different stages. " Preliminary: Review of the Complete schematic designs on Wednesday 11/08/00 and Friday 11/10/00 @ 1:30pm in the Gallery. "

Final: Review of complete, revised schematic designs on Wednesday 12/06/00 and Friday 12/08/00 @ 1:30pm in the Gallery.
